As promised earlier, tonight’s episode of X-Play asked the questions that eager E3 09 anticipators wanted answered. Will bikini-clad booth babes be running rampant through each of the four massive halls the LA Convention Center has to offer, or will we be once again treated to a substandard event.

Hit the jump, and let Adam Sessler work his interrogation magic, while you frantically search for a sharpie to mark “vacation” across your first few days of your June 2009 calendar. Read more…

Extra extra, read all about it. G4TV’s X-Play has just announced the return of E3 to the LA Convention Center. In addition, they shared the following details:

• The event will run June 2nd-June 4th at the LA Convention Center.
• It still won’t be open to public, but ESA has plans to help increase attendance.
• Unemployed booth babes waiting by the phone will have to sit tight for now.

I guess this news is better than finding out the event would be held in an LA In-N-Out Burger, but there’s still a lot of questions left to be answered. Higher attendance numbers could be a good thing, assuming the event is set up properly, and as for booth babes — I won’t be holding my breath for anything remotely close to this.

It seems that events like GDC and E3 bring out the giving nature of PR companies, unfortunately I have very little interest in swag. A few months ago at GDC I had good old Dan Landis to unload my swag on, but due to Dan’s wife selfishly deciding to crank out a baby a few days ago, Dan will not be able to attend E3 with us this year.

So, as I drove home from Taco Bell about an hour ago, I decided that I would give all the free shit I get this year to a reader instead. If you are asking yourself, what is this shit you speak of Chad? Well, that’s the thing, I have no idea what the hell it’ll be until I get my hands on it. One thing’s for sure though, whatever I get will be passed on directly to you. Bags, key chains, stickers, booth babe underwear - it can all be yours.

To enter, just leave a comment below stating something you would like me to try and get. Of course, there is no guarantee I will get it, but I am open to suggestions. One commenter will be selected randomly. We will then email that person to get their mailing address and all that good stuff. Contest will close midnight PST on Friday the 18th.

Alright then, looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with.

With E3 fast approaching, we’ve decided to put this video up to demonstrate the awesomeness that we will never see there.  The following should be considered “not safe for work,” but it might be worth the risk to watch it right now anyways. Read more…
